KingCrimson Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 :lol:One who is silly enough to throw away most of august anyway! It's a tough decision. I can be a three year varsity football player or a ski patroller.. Part of my reasoning is I only get highschool once..and especially being scoped out by the varsity coaches as a freshman. Then again, I got 2 concussions, a seperated shoulder, a hyperextended ankle, and broke most of my fingers. Still totally worth it..Not to say I was only on the receiving end, and although I don't like to brag about it, because it's not necessarily a great thing, I put 2 people in the hands of the paramedics during the season. Slightly more satisfying is playing d-end, getting an interception and pulling 5 yards out of it. 6 swatted passes, and I think I played against about 50 different left tackles over the course of 10 games. Only made 3 tackles for a loss, so no defensive MVP for me. Or I can mostly avoid any more injuries and be a patroller, and still do track in the spring. But another consideration is I did no snowsports before the end of March, started HBs in the beginning of April. "Theo, shut up and listen. Set the edge and ride it out." Thanks Dad!

Arclite Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 where's baldy? I thought the only mountains around were MH and big bear and mammoth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 To my knowledge there are.. 3 active resorts in the San Gabriels 1. Mt. High East, West, and North (used to be each individually managed. Still 3 different peaks and faces) 2. Baldy which is 2 faces, Mt. San Antonio, Thunder Mountain, and the bowl they form into. The runs are basically a giant Y shape, with the parking lot at the bottom of the Y. Fun, steep mountain. Very archaic. Old lifts with a-frame towers. Slow, rickety things. A true technical nightmare, but a blast either way. Started HBing here. Generally hated by most, my favorite resort of all the ones I've skied. (All 4 of them) Also get the most vert in SoCal here. 3. Waterman..no snowmaking here. Open about 10 days a year. 4. Krakta Ridge..bought out by Waterman. May or may not open..The bullwheel house was used as a crack or meth lab..great. Currently inactive In the San Bernadino Mts. 1. Bear and Summit, obviously managed by the same folks. 3. Snow Valley, small place, you see it on the way to Bear/Summit depending on the way you take. Might have been originally a part of Bear and Summit..I don't remember if it really was. Sierra Nevadas Mammoth and June..don't really consider these local..takes like 8 hours to get there if you aren't an amphetamine charged red eyed jackass.

Arclite Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Baldy is in the San Bernadino Forest BTW and I've never heard of June till now. and Mammoth is only 5 hour drive....going 80 mph. we sometimes hit 110 mph in my dads element....scary.

The 395 is definitely not the place to speed, and going 110 in a toaster is not my idea of a ski trip! Baldy is in the San Gabriel Mtns; geographically very close to Mt. High. It's also got 400 acres vs. the 240 at Summit to give you an idea of how it's really quite different. Read somewhere it's got 3 of the 10 steepest patrolled runs on the continent. They also have a GS set up complete with timer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronG Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 It would be a pleasure to ride with you again. It's not fun riding with a bunch of old farts ALL the time. :p Hey, who you calling an "old fart"? Don't forget about Snow Forest on your areas. Snow Forest is located in Big Bear, it sits on the hills above the Alpine Slide/Snowplay area. Hasn't operated in over 10 years. I used to hike up there and get some fresh tracks down some of the runs. You can't see it too well from the southside of the lake but take a trip over to the north shore and look to the west of Snow Summit and you can see it clearly. There was also Green Valley Ski Area, located at Green Valley Lake. You pass it on Hwy 18 on the way to Big Bear. Used to be a ski area with a few runs. They changed over to "snowboarding only" for a few years and then it closed up. I believe they do run a x-country skiing center there now. BTW, x-country skiing is a great cross training activity for mtn biking!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvingchef Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 and I've never heard of June till now. and Mammoth is only 5 hour drive....going 80 mph. we sometimes hit 110 mph in my dads element....scary. it was only 100 mph for about half a minute and when i asked you guess how fast we are going you thought it was like 70 or 75 besides, you said you like to go fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronG Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think we have a first here on BOL, Father and son debating on how fast they were going. Andrea, 100mph?? on 395?? Bad Bad man!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Well, I'm not gonna call you a gaper or a stupid jibber. Running out of names here. I could call you a carvehomo, but that would be hypocritic. Didn't know about Snow Forest, sounds fun. I'd love to hike that with you some time. Perhaps I can convince you to climb Baldy with me this summer on bikes. 2100* over the course of 3 miles. At elevation. My dad and I are gonna grab some bigger cog(s) and BMX bottom brackets..can you guess why? I'll give you a hint...we won't be shifting. I'm not really sure what I'm cross training for anyway anymore.. First I'm biking for fun, then I started to run to crosstrain for biking, then I'm running for fun, then I'm biking to cross train for football, then I started biking more to cross train for skiing, now I'm snowboarding for fun, and I've ended up cross training for track, which really is just cross training for biking and football, both of which will become cross training for snowboarding.

If the active ingredient ends with "eeen" I'll find a way to call you a stupid junky :P 100..in a toaster no less. My brother removed the window from his Honda with the side of his head going 100.

Three cheers for Andrea:biggthump The 2nd annual New Years (or thereabouts) ASSESS event was a big success!!! My other hardbooter friend showed up after all the other ASSES left. Conditions were still very carvable when I left at 4:45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
